Letter: Penalty for past sins is more taxes for Illinois
To the Editor:
Tuesday’s editorial, “State’s waste robs public of real benefits,” put much of the current cash problem into a new perspective that I hope will help voters understand the problem.
Having watched the problem grow since 1957, I see an additional perspective. We voters have elected a majority of irresponsible legislators who didn’t believe in paying bills, and we “enjoyed” paying slightly less in taxes. Now we are faced with a problem that requires more taxes to pay for that irresponsibility.
